This Couple Put The Perfect Modern Touch On A Garden Wedding Venue

Pharris Photos + Philms captured Nicole Powell and Dr. Mike Cato Jr.’s beautiful wedding at McGovern Centennial Gardens, and we are so excited to share! We love how they put their own modern touch on the traditional garden wedding venue with clean lines, bold florals, and a striking color palette. Cheers to the happy couple!
